It looks that in order to complete checkout you need to pay for one month ($45).

curious - can one use this as simply a free media player? Clearly I'm missing something.

I do not have android phone but I use an android box for iptv that has a media player as well.When I was ordering this phone, I also saw iphone 4 preowned for $99. That's another option if your looking for a media player.

It looks that in order to complete checkout you need to pay for one month ($45). Well, it did not charge anything, however it says, your monthly fee will be $45/mo. So I am assuming it is a not pay as you go phone, its simply a no-contract phone but one will have to cancel service once phone is received otherwise will keep on getting billed $45/mo. I think the first bill would be once the phone is activated, hopefully they don't send is pre-activated because I simply want to use it as an MP3 player and for web-browsing via WiFi unless that has been blocked as well.

Megan: You will need to pay the device cost online, before the device is delivered.

You: but it says Final Price &eq; 0.00

You: Agreement 0 Yrs

Megan: If the amount due with your order is $0.00, your card will be authorized, but not charged as part of the purchase process.

Megan: Your card will need to have an available balance of at least $1.00. For the security of your order the card will be authorized but not charged.

You: Ok but when phone arrive and its a non-contract phone , I can just keep it ?

You: how it will work

You: what is catch

Megan: Please allow me to provide you with the details.

You: sure

You: thanks

Megan: Please note you can keep the device once you have paid the first bill.

Megan: You can expect to receive your first bill within one week of signing up for Sprint service. Your first bill will contain partial-monthly charges, starting from your first day of service. It will also include your next full month in advance.

You: first bill of how many $$$$, since its a non-contract phone ?

Megan: Please note the bill details will be available during the checkout process.

When I go to checkout, I see the $45 monthly fee. If I want to get this phone as a backup and not actually use the service, how can I get the $45 fee out of the cart? Or will I not get charged that fee if I don't use the phone when I get it?

There is a Activation Discount of $150.00web only switch & save $99.99

If you dont activate & dont switch your number , they are hold your credit card for $1 for now & they can charge back these amount on your card.

My two cents

I'm in! Had to put it in my cart and then re-enter thru ebates, so we'll see if that works. Used a rebate debit card, I'll have to empty it out now just in case something goes wrong.

They prompt you to either change your number or get a new one. The price does not change if you choose to get a new number.

Hope it work for you guys.

"The price does not change if you choose to get a new number." So you need to activate that new number to get the discount I guess .

Or The Company just giving away the phones for FREE (or may be I am missing something)

Sprint Employee: You will receive a bill each month. This line scares me most

vijujoshi said: Sprint Employee: You will receive a bill each month. This line scares me most Because you are signing up for a $45 or $60 monthly service is why. Once you cancel, it's done. It's going to cost you at least $45 for the phone, I imagine. However, they may prorate the service if you cancel immediately. I didn't ask.

I wonder if I can use this on my regular contract line. I just lost my phone and in desperate need of decent phone.

fallenheart said: I wonder if I can use this on my regular contract line. I just lost my phone and in desperate need of decent phone. Seems you have to buy a no contract plan with phone. You can probably use the phone for a month, cancel the plan, then switch to your contract plan.

wtfu said: got a bill of $7.31 today from Sprint. Chatted with a staff. He waived the unpaid balanceIs there any way to take care of this online via email or chat? I have bills for 2 phones (which I've ignored until now but would like to clear up). One is $9.13 for a phone I cancelled and actually sent back, which should be completely zeroed out. The one one I posted to Ting but I never got credited for the month that I had been pre-billed. I haven't paid either bill but would like to get rid of them. I'd be happy to pay a few dollars for the phone I actually kept.

NM found the chat button at the top of the page.

Update - went 1 for 2. First rep told me she would zero out the account (on the phone that I had cancelled service on and was forced to send back). Second rep told me she could not handle pre-paid accounts and that I'd have to call!
